> They pull their kids out of school after grade 8

This is inaccurate. Their schooling is complete after grade 8.

Like hell it is. What they want their kids learning is irrelevant, it's a travesty of "religious freedom" that we don't require this cult to educate their children to the same uniform standard as every other person in our society.

I dropped out of school in 9th grade. I make $200K a year. A friend of mine has a college degree and has been unemployed for a year.

There is no uniform standard of education in the US. Kids in the South are being taught that evolution is on par with intelligent design. Poor black kids in Baltimore have on average a 3rd grade reading level in high school, while rich kids a few counties away are taught when to use a backdoor roth ira. Don't even mention "no child left behind".

Maybe let's calm down a bit with the judgement.

"few counties away are taught when to use a backdoor roth ira" What are you on about? Nobody is talking about a back door roth IRA in high school.

They are not "people in your society". They have their own society and you are not a member.
